If I Were You

I look in the mirror
With you in my arms
And I see a reflection
Of a smile that says
You believe in love
And just for a moment
I drifted away but I couldn't stay
'Cause a bitter love and hint of fear
I'm trying to say
If I were you I wouldnt be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldnt come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone that wont hurt you
Make sure she still believes in love
'Cause my heart has given up
If I were you I wouldnt be here
I try to protect you
From the lies that your heart tells
Even though it says that it wants me
All I see is pain and misery
Seasons may change
But I can't forget the days of old
My heart ache when he went away
Said id never love again
If I were you I wouldnt be here
If I were you I would say right where you are
I would come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone that wont hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
'Cause my heart has given up
If I were you I wouldnt be here
Days go by
And I feel that you could make me happy
Time goes on
And I feel that love is at my door
Though I tell myself that youre the one
Who said those words before
But it hurts too much
I can't trust enough again
Again
If I were you I wouldnt be here
If I were you I would say right where you are
I would come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone that wont hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
'Cause my heart has given up
If I were you I wouldnt be here
If I were you I wouldnt be here
If I were you I would say right where you are
I would come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone that wont hurt you
Make sure that she
Make sure that she still believes in love
'Cause my heart has given up
If I were you I wouldnt be here
